Summary

The Uyghur militant group Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP), which played a role in toppling Syria’s Assad regime, has vowed to take its fight to China.

In a propaganda video, TIP fighters declared their mission to “liberate East Turkistan” from Chinese control, referencing cities in Xinjiang.

TIP has been active in Syria for over a decade, aligned with Islamist group HTS.

While their capabilities remain unclear, TIP’s rhetoric signals potential threats to China’s global assets. Beijing may push for their extradition, raising challenges for Syria’s new government and regional stability.

      I literally saw this as a hexbear thread first. Somehow this is America doing this, and the only possible reason they could have is that America put them up to it, and as a result China needs to be more aggressive because they’re too passive and kind right now.
